In order to enhance the daily connectivity experience for thousands of students and staff, Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) has selected Extreme Networks (News - Alert) mobile network solutions across its Monarch High School campus.

BVSD currently supports more than 50 schools and 35,000 students in Colorado and each school requires a reliable wireless network to support the volume of shared digital content across an expanding number of connected devices.

Officials at the school district said that they chose Extreme Networks for its distributed approach to high performance Wireless LAN (WLAN) that includes Summit WM Controllers and Altitude 4511 Snap-On Wallplate Access Points, extending the wireless reach and boosting performance across campuses.

Monarch High School was previously using a WLAN system which was unable to reach all campus classrooms and even failed to provide high density connectivity and could not scale to support the increase in data traffic as a result of today’s mobility demands.

Now, the new 802.11n solution is being deployed across BVSD’s existing high performance wired network to help enable a seamless mobile experience, where users can access “cloud” applications and services.

“Students in 2012 rely on all kinds of devices, from iPhones and tablets to traditional computers, taking their projects, blogs and documents with them wherever they go,” said Dr. Jerry Anderson, principal of Monarch High School.  “Extreme Networks delivered the network we needed to support BVSD’s ‘One to One’ program, creating seamless connections with a simple and painless deployment. Wireless is now everywhere on campus and it’s terrific.”

Extreme Networks is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with offices in more than 50 countries worldwide. The company’s open network solutions enable a seamless user experience providing a platform for improved business agility.
